We have raised our kids and now have a granddaughter. I was wondering if any of you have found a good book on discipline I could share with my daughter?
We used "Dare to Discipline" by Dr. Dobson. Not sure if thats still around or maybe there's even a revised addition.
Parenting with Love & Logic, Teaching Children Responsibility
Peaceful Parenting, Parent Empowerment and Child Empowerment
Bringing up Children without Tearing Them Down
This is assuming you are dealing with NT children. Enjoyed them all. Powerul, effective tools from all three.

The New Six-Point Plan for Raising Happy, Healthy Children by John Rosemond child psychologist. has 2 kids of his own, and recently became a grandparent. advocates for parents to be the parent instead of the understanding best friend. available on Amazon, I am sure. love him and read his column religiously.
I love Dobson's Dare To Discipline. Another really good one is "Personality Plus for Parents". The Love and Logic books are good but really take A LOT of patience and consistency.
Two of my favorites are: How to Talk so Kids Will Listen and Listen so Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber Kids are Worth It: Giving Your Child the Gift of Inner Disciplineby Barbara Coloroso

Great pick, Goddess!
I love John Rosemond's books.
For some simple, effective discipline, I'd also pick up 123 Magic. It worked miracles in my children.
I read John Rosemond's books when I first became a stepmom...I treated it as my parenting manual. You know the one they forget to give you when you get married?????
Anyway, my favorite part of his book was:
Rosemond's Bill of Rights for Children (http://www.rosemond.com/index.php?action=website-view&WebSiteID=389&WebPageID=9896 - broken link)
Believe me, my daughter heard *I said so* very frequently! Liz
